Institutions like Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, NewYork-Presbyterian, and Roswell Park run new-graduate nurse residencies and oncology fellowship tracks designed for candidates without prior oncology experience. Completing the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation's entry-level preparation or shadowing in an infusion center also strengthens applications from adjacent roles such as medical-surgical nursing or pharmacy technician.
